Animal Magic

Ten-year-old Opie Jones is Very Ordinary. In fact nothing remarkable has ever happened to her, if you don’t count the cat that gives her funny looks from next door (which she doesn’t). So she is naturally very surprised when she is recruited to join The Resistance—a team of superheroes who can read minds, and have a dastardly brainwashing villain to defeat. However it turns out Opie can’t read human minds; she can read animal ones. The other members of the Resistance are very disappointed. And a whole world of animal chat and demands is opening up to her.

Der vierzehnjährige Calum hat seine Eltern nie kennengelernt - und er spürt, dass er nicht nur deswegen anders ist als alle anderen Jugendlichen, die er so kennt. Sein Leben ändert sich schlagartig, als er in seiner neuen Wohngruppe Jasleen, Skye und Miro begegnet. Was ist los mit diesen dreien - warum lehnen sie ihn ab, was verbergen sie vor ihm? Und warum fühlt er sich trotzdem von ihnen angezogen, besonders von der faszinierenden Skye und ihrem wilden Raben? Als die Jugendlichen zufällig feststellen, dass sie rund um die Uhr beobachtet werden, offenbaren sie Calum ihr Geheimnis.

Calum, Skye, Jasleen und Miro haben ihre Verfolger abgeschüttelt und sind untergetaucht. Doch die Ruhepause in der kanadischen Wildnis währt nicht lange.

Gibt es wirklich eine fünfte Person, die aus demselben Experiment entstand? Eins steht fest: Sie müssen diese Person finden, koste es, was es wolle.
